The Stormers and adidas are bringing back hoops and stripes in their latest collaboration.

After changing their logo a few weeks ago, the Stormers are continuing to embrace the new era they've stepped into.

After eight years apart, adidas is back to reignite its iconic partnership with the DHL Stormers, returning as the official technical apparel partner and unveiling the new 25/26 kit.

Following the unveiling of a new brand identity for the DHL Stormers and framed by the mantra that we are all ‘In it together’, the next step in this new era has been taken with the confirmation that adidas is back to reignite this historic association between two brands that both mean so much to so many people.

The Stormers also announced a refreshed roster of sponsors including DHL, BrightRock, Six Gun Grill, VALR, SPAR, Coca-Cola, SportPesa, and Clover. This commercial boost solidifies the franchise' new era.

DHL Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson said that having adidas back on board is a big moment for the team and their supporters.

"It's a massive stamp and it's very big for us, the jersey to me is stunning," Dobson adds.

"This is more than just a new look; it’s a homecoming," adidas announced on social media.
